Subject: docprobe.c on PowerPC
Date: Thu, 02 May 2002 16:57:31 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3CD0E35B.4010606@bigpond.com> (raw)
There a bug in MTD and/or Linux and/or gcc for docprobe on PowerPC
machines. I have a pretty recent linux.2.4.18-pre8 kernel from the
bitkeeper linuxppc_devel archives. It seems that when setting up
doc_locations[] that the #elif defined(__ppc__) is not executed. The
gcc specs file does not mention this definition. I did a gcc -v on a
test file and it seems that -DPPC -D__PPC and -D__PPC__ are defined but
not -D__ppc__. Other architectures in the docprobe.c file use
__alpha__, __i386 __x86_64__, etc. Where do these definitions come from
(or where are they supposed to be defined) ? In GCC, the linux kernel
or should the MTD code use __PPC__ instead ???
Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
